    6.tires wear out so fast
    7.boring car to drive

    1.19-20mpg is good imo...and 24 highway is good as well
    2.yes you have to do valley pans and the vanos motors had an issue with the guide rails...so did e39 540's
    3.so does e39,e32,e34...anything with thrust arms.. mine was replaced 10k ago...and im sure in 80k i can afford to rebuild the entire suspension for $800
    4.people with over 200k on them...mine has 131
    5.yes...and been done
    6.no, check alignment and trust arms
    7.no

                            Huh, must be that initial taking a shit of the coolant system and susp that motivates people to sell. I know a couple very successful older guys that have bought these new and ended up selling because they can't keep them out of the shop (nothing to do with cost, everything to do with wanting a car). One bought a 335i, one an A8.

                              its because no one wants to do the work...a different class of people buy e39's if you know what i mean...and like you said older people with money buy 7's and freak because they blow a coolant hose hahah

                                I find your front plate incredibly offensive.

                                But a nice car.
